| | Damien Hirst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Damien Hirst (born June 7, 1965) is a British artist and the leading artist of the group that has been dubbed "Young British Artists" (or YBAs). | | | Hirst has been praised in recognition of his celebrity and the way this has galvanised interest in the arts, raising the profile of British art and helping to (re)create the image of "Cool Britannia". | | | Hirst first gained general public notoriety that same year when one of his works was featured as a send-up in a British tabloid newspaper. |

| | DAMIEN HIRST - MUSEO - VOLUME 4 |
| | It is a virtue of art that it can record the state of the artist's soul, and it is a virtue of Damien Hirst's art that it works toward this revelation, this expression of his philosophy of life. | | | The viewer reacts to Hirst's works with his or her body, and the works concern the body — its pleasures, functions, and composition. | | | Hirst's spot paintings are not beautiful, not amusing, but are instead works of complicated enjoyment. |

| | Hirst enthusiasts say his work is bold and ground-breaking, that it sets the standard for contemporary art in the early part of the 21st century. | | | Life and Death and Damien Hirst, an hour-long fly-on-the-wall documentary made by London Weekend Television's Arts and Features Department, follows the British artist Damien Hirst as he prepares for a spectacular one-man show in Larry Gagosian's new Chelsea gallery in New York. | | | But his numerous detractors, including respected figures in the art world as well as the tabloid press, argue that there is little more to Hirst's work than hype. |

| | Haber's Art Reviews: Damien Hirst |
| | Damien Hirst has worked as a painter and a parody of a painter, with deliberately dull abstractions churned out at parties. | | | Hirst has always played with the very idea of raw art while wallowing in Britain's traditions of high seriousness. | | | As usual, Hirst's shocks quickly become trite and trivial, his serious aims approach the stale or pretentious, and his ambiguity come near to meaning nothing much at all. |

| | Damien Hirst is the official poster boy of the Young British Artist movement. | | | Hirst uses animals preserved in formaldehyde ("pickling art," as he describes it) in order to provocatively convey his interpretations of such classic themes as life and death. | | | The artist explains the source of inspiration for his series of spot paintings: "The aim is to set up a kind of visual humming...they represent the ultimate variety of life...and are random attempts to communicate within a rigid system." Hirst won one of Britain's most prestigious art awards, the Turner Prize, in 1995. |

| | village voice > art > Damien Hirst by Jerry Saltz |
| | The 31 paintings in Damien Hirst's sad new show at Gagosian are not paintings at all; or rather, they're generic-to-bad photo-realist efforts. | | | The best that can be said about these canvases is that Hirst is working in the interstice between painting and the name of the painter: Damien Hirst is making Damien Hirsts. | | | They say this makes Hirst "transgressive," which is ludicrous because, above all, this work is a total capitulation to an art world where money is the primary measure of success. |

| | Hirst makes great art because, rather than leaving no room for thought as KS suggests, Hirst's work never ceases to confront you with your own fragile mortality and consistently demands you to consider your existence and your place in the world, and the morality of your actions - including the act of viewing his work. | | | The criticism on this board from KS of Hirst's work are derived from that person's one-dimensional and solipsistic understanding of 'what art is' - but we shouldn't be hidebound by such simplistic values. | | | I love Hirst and most of the other artists that are part of the whole new British movement. |
